The producing duo behind “Memphis Beat” has landed a deal to develop a New Orleans-set supernatural drama for CBS, according to the website Deadline.com. The show’s working title: “The Big Easy.”

The Memphis-set cop drama “Memphis Beat” lasted just two seasons, but was shot in and around New Orleans with a LaPlace production base for interior sets.

According to Deadline, the pilot script for the prospective new series, to be written by Liz Garcia and Joshua Harto, will establish the show as “centered on the complex life and cases of Jack Lyons, a hard-living trumpet player and paranormal investigator with a dark personal tie to his work.”

It was inspired, says the site, by the time Garcia and Harto spent in New Orleans producing “Memphis Beat.”

If the title doesn’t change, it conjures the spirit of “The Big Easy” -- a 1986 movie (starring Dennis Quaid , Ellen Barkin and John Goodman) as well as the TV series based on the same concept that ran on the USA cable network in the 1990s.

Another prospective New Orleans-set drama -- "The Swamp," about a “scramble”-style marching band -- is in development at NBC.
